UT football: Longhorns’ Top 25 streak ends

AUSTIN — For the first time in almost a decade, the Texas Longhorns are unranked.

UT’s nation-leading streak of 162 consecutive weeks in the Associated Press Top 25 came to its expected end on Sunday, when the Longhorns officially fell out of the rankings. Their 28-20 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday — one week after a stunning home defeat against UCLA — knocked them out of the AP poll for the first time since Oct. 15, 2000.

The Longhorns received 33 voter points in the poll, essentially placing them 29th. After an off week, they will have another opportunity to re-enter the Top 25 when they visit No. 7 Nebraska on Oct. 16.
